What a Woman Should Have

Happy International Woman's day..

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
one old love, she can imagine going back to...

and one who reminds her how far she has come...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a youth she's content to leave behind...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored..

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
a feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
when to try harder... and when to walk away...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table...

or a charming inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she can and can't accomplish in a day...a month...and a year...

My High School Crush

Do you remember your 1st crush? Who was it?

While I was waiting for my pictures to be uploaded, I grabbed an old school magazine. I was blissfully flipping through it and chuckling while looking at the ancient pictures from a time where the only thing that mattered was whether you've remembered to finish your math homework.

So it brought back a memory.. of my first crush I think. To my junior!
The first time I noticed him was when we were having our weekly hockey practice. He was still in school because he had "kawad kaki" for scouts. I think both of us were done for the day and I was picking up the orange cones to be put away. Me, Emilia and Zana were fooling around for a while and then.. I looked around me and there he was. Leaning against the pillar and lookin at us. I have no idea which one of us he was looking at but I didn't care. I fell for him then and there. ( I'm smiling as I reminisce while typing away)


From that day onwards, he became the sole purpose and my motivation to get up and go to school.He was sooooooo cute! Every rehat time I would be on the lookout for him, same thing while Im waiting for the bus to go home. My stomach would be doing little summersaults and butterflies with gigantic wings have taken residence in it.

We've never spoken a word to each other and I doubt if he has any idea that I existed but he made my final year in school so.... hmmm...di awang awangan

I wonder where he is right now? Hows his life is at the moment? Is he married?

Pssst: His name is...Essam Fikri

I'm feeling blue..

I felt a minor tremor today sometime at around 2.00 pm.. while I was typing away on my computer, I kind of freaked out at first.. I thought I was experiencing massive headache and seriously thinking that I was about to pass out... On my way home, heard the news on radio.

Feeling blue today. Tak ada mood nak buat kerja.. Wish I have some thought provoking anecdotes to share..


p/s: Enjoy the music video instead :) memang lari from my feeling blue theme but it made me smile.. the kid is great :) Hope your day was great
